We can speculate all day who might support the lawsuit and who might not. At the end of the day it was initiated by someone who likely thought they would go professional, but they weren't good enough.

Are you trolling now? Even if you could convince a court that the person in the game was intended to be you, it doesn't make the game more marketable. Gamers don't care if the fans are "real" people, but they want the "real" QB in the game.
If it didn't matter, EA wouldn't bother to pay NFL athletes either. They'd just slap 00 on a Denver Broncos jersey and have his name be Joe Quarterback out of Duluth Junior College.

Words of wisdom and common sense...
You bet or you know...which is it??
Here's a brief description of the legal theory:

Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson just to name two. Greedy Hall of Famers.

Jim Brown did it, too.
My guess is those that are calling out Keller would be cheering Frazier, Gill, Frost if they were involved in the suit.
I think a lot of those same folks must have been sleeping through 1L property.......
I'm not sure they'd be cheering, but there's no doubt in my mind there would be more "I totally understand where they are coming from" vs. "what a bunch of greedy, no-talent ingrates."
So it is OK to be called incredibly stupid? And then I agree that continuing an unending conversation is stupid on my part is now me needing to get over myself?
To me, it seemed like an effort to let everyone else know you are the smartest guy in the conversation, and it would be beneath you to continue. If the remark was literal, you have my apology.

So as a doctor, who puts himself out for individuals who abuse themselves, as a doctor who works pro bono with inmates for altruistic reasons, you assume I side with defense attorneys prior to prosecutors? What gives you the right to accuse me of that in the context of a video game thread/conversation? Are you that in need of defending or advancing the cause of student athletes and their right to various streams of revenue that you attack a physician and their perception and or experience with unjustified unwarranted and immoral litigation? I've been sued while saving someone's life...so yes, I'm bitter towards unnecessary litigation...gives you no right to attack me on that level...I side with the defense regardless of facts? What facts are you implying...you crossed the line...enough...
Remark was literal. No apology needed. I see where a back and forth debate, conversation and overte expression of sentiment get you on this board...attacking you personally, attacking you professionally...I have stated the case is ridiculous, and gave my opinion as to how and why...I didn't call anyone out personally or professionally. Done with this board...truly...
